This is a nice example of the difference between Apple macOS and Linux. Dell TB16 is not supported for either of them. If you connect it to a Macbook, you get "unsupported device" and that's it, nothing works.With Linux it somewhat works, but with the newest firmware connections from USB-B devices get jammed. But devices connected to the USB-C port of the dock work just fine. So to connect a mouse, keyboard, and external sound card, I've got a USB hub which is connected to a USB-B->USB-C converter which is connected to the dock which is connected to the laptop. And it works! With Linux, you may not always get the best out-of-the-box functionality, but there is usually a way to make it working although the solution sometimes looks a bit overengineered :)MacOS hardware support is much more binary, it works either very well or not at all.

Jakub Čecháček: +Ondřej Kolín which is officially not sold at our market + it still has problems with docking / external displays. Don't take me wrong, that laptop is an impressive machine and out of the "new generation" devices it likely has a better linux support than most.

+Jiří Eischmann That point of view seems again a bit twisted. Yes you can make linux work on more hardware (and it will certainly will be way easier than making MacOS work there). The issue with this is that you have to MAKE it work.. Making my computer work is not what many people want to do.. I want to use it to do the work I want. MacOS also isn't "marketed" as a generic OS for all computer. Macs are HW+SW package which works well together and it's marketed that way. It's also has great enough market share to provide a decent support for 3rd party peripheral devices. To this day at every conference there is always at least one guy with linux laptop who has issues connecting it to the projector. I've rarely seen that happen with mac -- usually it's a matter of port compatibility rather than anything else.

Jakub Čecháček: +Jiří Eischmann A perfect example to support my issues with linux and its compatibility. We both work for a company which makes a Linux distribution. Yet the laptops issued to our engineers are borderline incompatible with our own operating system -- good luck trying to properly setup power management including support for both graphics in those 15" thinkpads. It may as well be possible, but it's certainly not easy if the majority of engineers I work with is not able to do it..... On the other hand MacOS does a lot of things in "it's own custom way" which is not exactly to my liking either (one can't really blame them though since essentially every unix out there has some non-standard parts to it). In the end it depends what you want from your computer and how important are certain values to you (e.g. I fully understand why somebody would refuse to use OS which is not open source).

Jiří Eischmann: +Jakub Čecháček if you say that Linux doesn't work properly on majority of hardware than macOS doesn't work properly on vast majority of hardware. It's easy to target several laptop models you actually control than any laptop that is out there. This is a comparison I find unfair. In fact, Linux has always been compatible with much more hardware than macOS and e.g. Dell hardware which is officially supported for Linux works very well. XPS13, which also comes with Linux, works perfectly with Fedora out of the box. The story is about unsupported hardware and that you usually find yourself more lucky to get it working with Linux than macOS.BTW that Dell dock works just fine with Lenovo laptops (tested with RHEL), it's a standard interface and ideally any TB device should work with it.
